HARTFORD, CT. Permatex® and Fast Orange® announced today their partnership as an associate sponsor with Follow A Dream® for the team's Championship NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car Campaign in 2006.
Jay Blake, Founder and Owner of Follow A Dream, Inc., stated, "This is a great opportunity for both Permatex and Follow A Dream. We are both organizations focused on development of quality that will bring a positive and long lasting benefit to our customers. Our NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car could not have stayed together without Permatex, and we look forward to all our NHRA fans using Permatex's
quality products".
The Follow A Dream NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car is owned and operated by Jay Blake; the only totally blind crew chief in the world of motor sports, and one of the nation's most inspirational speakers. Jay Blake has been featured on NBC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, CNN, and NECN, to name
a few.
Follow A Dream, a 501c3 nonprofit corporation is Mr. Blake's answer to merging his 20-year love of drag racing with what he views as his responsibility to demonstrate through personal example, that dreams do not have to be surrendered to a life-altering or potentially catastrophic disability. Mr. Blake, a career mechanic, suffered an industrial accident in 1997 that rendered him totally blind. Instead of giving up, he forged ahead with his dream of racing and by applying his mechanical expertise, ultimately assembled an enthusiastic race team.
